			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It has a dinosaur. Check. It has pizza. Check. It is bling. Check. This Pizzasaurus necklace is everything that you have ever wanted in a necklace all in one. If you love wearing shiny things and love dinosaurs (we know you love pizza) then this is your ticket to geeking out your style.<br />

The pizza even has pepperoni on it &#8211; which I officially dub &#8220;tricera-toppings.&#8221; This is everything that you have been searching for in your quest for the ultimate necklace. This is an antique gold finish dinosaur necklace eating a pizza. My mind is blown.</p>
<p>It comes on a 24&#8243; chain and you can also get it in silver. The Pizzasaurus necklace is just $144 (USD) from Snash Jewelry over on <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/94049261/pizzasaurus-dinosaur-loves-pizza">Etsy</a>. Get it before it becomes extinct. Imagine eating pizza while you wear this. You will blow people&#8217;s minds. The awesomeness is off the charts here people.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You use space heaters occasionally to heat a small room, but those are honestly huge eye sores.  As in, your visitors walk in, and they walk out with bandages on their corneas and a plan to sue your broke self.  So, avoid all of these issues and take a look at the Thermosaurus Radiator, which, unfortunately, is still a prototype right now.</p>
<p><span id="more-90632"></span>Hopefully, though, we&#8217;ll be able to use it to heat our chilly dome homes in Antarctica soon, preferably before my fingers fall off and the penguins eat them.  Greedy little things &#8211; first, my sandwiches, and now my fingers? I&#8217;M NEVER WATCHING <em>MARCH OF THE PENGUINS</em> EVER AGAIN.  And if I do, it&#8217;s only because Morgan Freeman has the voice of a manly meadowlark.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-90701" title="040512_thermosaurus_radiator_1" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/040512_thermosaurus_radiator_1.jpg" alt="040512 thermosaurus radiator 1" width="600" height="529" /></p>
<p>The Thermosaurus Radiator is definitely a geeky way to keep your house warm, and it&#8217;s apparently very safe in terms of not burning down your house.  They put adorable little mittens on the T. Rex, so I&#8217;m assuming that those will never turn into adorable flaming mittens that are a danger to everyone in the household.  Don&#8217;t get me wrong &#8211; flaming mittens are <em>awesome</em>, but people with the Thermosaurus Radiator probably have kids who haven&#8217;t burned themselves enough times to know the dangers of fire.  Me?  I still burn myself all the time, but that&#8217;s because I&#8217;m a moron.  <em>*Touches the stove*</em></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-90661" title="thermosaurus_radiator_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/thermosaurus_radiator_2.jpg" alt="thermosaurus radiator 2" width="600" height="330" /></p>
<p>The Thermosaurus Radiator, when <a href="http://www.artlebedev.com/everything/teplosaurus/">Art Lebedev Studio</a> is ready to make it for all of us to enjoy, will most likely be made out of cast iron.  Below are a couple (crazy and wild) shots of the tiny model they made of their beloved T-Rex when they believed that they had come upon the perfect design for this dino-themed space heater.  That face &#8211; that face is the epitome of success.  <em>*Success kid fist pump*</em></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-90637" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/teplosaurus-process-05.jpg" alt="teplosaurus process 05" width="600" height="694" title="teplosaurus process 05 photo" /></p>
<p>The Thermosaurus Radiator is awesome, but you&#8217;re probably looking for some more great dino-themed things: don&#8217;t worry, y&#8217;all, I&#8217;ve got you covered.  There&#8217;s the <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2012/02/23/3d-printed-robot-dinosaur/">3D Printed Dinosaur</a> for you to look at, as well as the <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2010/02/26/robo-rex-lego-robot-dinosaur/">Robo-Rex LEGO Dinosaur</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><a href="http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/xzibit-yo-dawg">Yo dawg</a>, I herd you like Raptors, so I put a LEGO Raptor in yo LEGO Raptor, so you can fly prehistoric-style while you fly.</em> That&#8217;s what Jack Marquez, who goes by &#8220;Ewok in Disguise&#8221; on <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/28177764@N07/6794350464/">Flickr</a> thought a lot about that when he was constructing his little F-22 Raptor fighter jet out of LEGO blocks.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-86092" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/raptor-in-yo-raptor.jpg" alt="raptor in yo raptor" width="600" height="448" title="raptor in yo raptor photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-86074"></span>The LEGO airplane model is cool on its own, but the coolest thing about little Raptor model is that the pilot is actually a velociraptor. The LEGO plane reminds me a lot of caricature of a real jet with its somewhat bulbous proportions, but I still really like it. I know that if this was around my house, the kids would crash it repeatedly in some sort of horrendous flying accident.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-86107" title="lego_raptor_squared" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/lego_raptor_squared.jpg" alt="lego raptor squared" width="600" height="566" /></p>
<p>The head of the raptor apparently came from one of the new <a href="http://www.brickset.com/search/?theme=Dino&amp;year=2012">LEGO dinosaur sets</a>. This is cool with the military and dinosaur mashup going on. I don&#8217;t think that combo happens enough. What do you think?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I think that generally when most of us imagine a paleontologist, an image of someone in a pith helmet, digging in the dirt with trowels and paintbrushes comes to mind. A paleontologist at <a href="http://www.drexel.edu/now/news-media/releases/archive/2012/February/3D-Printing-Technology-Robotic-Dinosaurs/">Drexel University</a> has a project he is working on which doesn&#8217;t involve dirt or paintbrushes, and it may well be the most amazing thing to happen to dinosaurs since the giant asteroid killed them off. Dr. Kenneth Lacovara is teaming up with mechanical engineer Dr. James Tangorra to reproduce fossilized dinosaur bones using a 3D scanner and a 3D printer.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-85200" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/robot-dino.jpg" alt="robot dino" width="600" height="685" title="robot dino photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-85184"></span>The 3D printed fossil bones will initially be used in museums and for educational purposes. The truly awesome part about the 3D printed bones though is that the two researchers plan to eventually use them to build a robotic dinosaur. The duo will start by constructing a robotic leg complete with muscles and tendons. Once that is finished, they will start a truly awesome task.</p>
<p>Their ultimate goal is to create a complete robotic dinosaur so they can study how the dinosaurs moved around the earth millions of years ago. How awesome is that?! A massive robot dinosaur would be so cool. There&#8217;s no word on what dinosaur they would try to recreate, but I would assume it would be a smaller dinosaur.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Swiss artist Tom Samui has been creating junkyard wonders for the last decade or so. He works with a team of 15 people creating these amazing sculptures made out of recycled automobile parts, like this intricate elf:</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-74971" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/112711_rg_EnginePartElf_01.jpg" alt="112711 rg EnginePartElf 01" width="600" height="450" title="112711 rg EnginePartElf 01 photo" /></p>
<p>Tom has created hundreds of these sculptures, entirely made out of scrap car and motorcycle parts. You&#8217;ll find animals, vehicles, people, creatures from fantasy and even some furniture in his collection. Many of the sculptures aren&#8217;t small, either. His T-Rex is about 28 feet in height. The build process involves collecting cars from a junkyard, then sorting through the parts. Then they are cleaned, and welded together, then polished and lacquered. Nothing is wasted.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-74972" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/112711_rg_EnginePartElf_02.jpg" alt="112711 rg EnginePartElf 02" width="600" height="801" title="112711 rg EnginePartElf 02 photo" /></p>
<p>It takes about 400 hours to complete a large sculpture. This translates to about two to three months.</p>
<p>Tom has recently started to collaborate with his friend Marco Mahler, and they are available for custom work. Check it out <a href="http://www.marcomahler.com/recycling_art.html">here</a> if you want them to make you a special sculpture.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-74973" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/112711_rg_EnginePartElf_03.jpg" alt="112711 rg EnginePartElf 03" width="600" height="450" title="112711 rg EnginePartElf 03 photo" /></p>

<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-60494" title="The 20 Foot Animatronic Triceratops" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/triceratops.jpg" alt="triceratops" width="600" height="515" /></p>
<p><span id="more-60382"></span>This motion-sensing triceratops can detect the presence of any onlookers and react by letting out a loud bellow, moving its head left and right, stomping and scuffing its forelimbs, or opening its jaws while growling. Each eye is integrated with motion-activated cameras that work in conjunction with an interactive software installed that enables the prehistoric recreation to detect and recognize the facial features of onlookers.</p>
<p>This animatronic Triceratops has actually seen a whole lot of the United States, as it has been on tour in different museums all over the country as part of a traveling exhibit. You can read more about purchasing this massive tri-horned animatronic if you&#8217;ve got a lot of money&#8211;and I do mean a lot of money&#8211;to burn by heading on over to <a href="http://www.hammacher.com/Product/11907">Hammacher Schlemmer</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Hughes (Hugheses?) have done it again. Famous for turning gadgets into jewelery-laden objects of pure sin, their latest creation is even more exotic and will surely have millionaires queue up for an order. Designed by Stuart Hughes and crafted by his wife Katrina, the iPhone 4 History Edition is filled with platinum and diamonds, but the main attraction here is found in the rear cover, which is made of meteoric stone and a 65-million year old T-Rex tooth. I don&#8217;t know whether to hate or applaud this couple.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-44583  aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/stuart-hughes-iphone-4-history-edition.jpg" alt="stuart hughes iphone 4 history edition" width="600" height="290" title="stuart hughes iphone 4 history edition photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-44582"></span>Stuart says he wanted something &#8220;fierce&#8221;, and there&#8217;s not a lot of things that symbolize that more than a T-Rex tooth, so they got a dino tooth and some space rock (I assume it&#8217;s as simple as that for a high roller) and rubbed the two together until the tooth was finely ground. Unfortunately we can&#8217;t really see any evidence of the dinosaur tooth in the finished product. Fortunately, I can&#8217;t afford this thing, so there&#8217;s no chance of me being duped.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-44584  aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/stuart-hughes-iphone-4-history-edition-2.jpg" alt="stuart hughes iphone 4 history edition 2" width="600" height="228" title="stuart hughes iphone 4 history edition 2 photo" /></p>
<p>Moneyed peoples, you know what to do – place your dainty fingers onto your keyboards and saunter onto Stuart Hughes&#8217; <a href="http://stuarthughes.com/newdawn/product_info.php?products_id=104">website</a>. The price, you say? Surely you jest! Oh I get it, you desire for the mandibles of your peons to promptly plummet to their unkempt floors. It&#8217;s £39,995 (approx. $62, 760 USD). Which is approximately&#8230; zero in rich man&#8217;s dollars. Still, you&#8217;d best hurry, because only ten of these will be made. T-Rex teeth don&#8217;t grow on trees.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey there. Having a normal weekend so far? Let&#8217;s make it freaky then; that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m paid to do. Below is a shot of watchmaker Louis Moinet&#8217;s latest creation. It&#8217;s called the <a href="http://www.swisstime.ch/pgs/rwi-pgs-prod-lgs-en-idp-2074.html#">Jurassic Tourbillon</a>, a watch whose dial contains <em>&#8220;fragments of authentic fossilized dinosaur bones.&#8221;</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-29732  aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/louis-moinet-jurassic-tourbillion.jpg" alt="louis moinet jurassic tourbillion" width="600" height="419" title="louis moinet jurassic tourbillion photo" /></p>
<p>The Jurassic Tourbillion&#8217;s case is adorned by 18K white gold, diamonds, and sapphire crystals, but who cares. Hell I wouldn&#8217;t mind if the watch can&#8217;t tell the time. What&#8217;s important is that it has monster bits inside. The watch will be shown off at <a href="http://www.baselworld.com/">Baselworld 2010</a> in Switzerland this month. What can be more awesome than a watch with dinosaur bones? I&#8217;ll tell you what: a watch with an actual dinosaur inside. Top that!</p>

<p>Robo-Rex is the brainchild of <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/boltofblue/">Alyse and Remi</a>. It&#8217;s an awesome LEGO Technics build that they designed themselves. While some of the gears and parts are decorative, a lot of them are used for Robo-Rex&#8217;s articulations. The dinolegobot was inspired by this crazy German commercial.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This has got to be the coolest thing I&#8217;ve seen this week. These incredibly small dinosaur kits let you build a miniature museum of natural history on your desktop.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-28835  aligncenter" title="tinysaur_t_rex" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/tinysaur_t_rex.jpg" alt="tinysaur t rex" width="600" height="408" /></p>
<p>Artist Kelly Farrell&#8217;s<a href="http://www.everythingtiny.com/"> Tinysaurs</a> are incredibly weensy kits which let you build your own mini-dinos.<span id="more-28833"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-28838" title="tinysaur_hersheys_kiss" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/tinysaur_hersheys_kiss.jpg" alt="tinysaur hersheys kiss" width="600" height="640" /></p>
<p>Each one is laser cut out of oak tag board using a 35 watt cutting laser, and pre-perfed for (relatively) easy assembly &#8211; assuming you&#8217;ve got some really steady hands.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-28836  aligncenter" title="tinysaur_wooly_mammoth" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/tinysaur_wooly_mammoth.jpg" alt="tinysaur wooly mammoth" width="600" height="551" /></p>
<p>Assembly of Tinysaurs requires tweezers, some white glue, and some patience. But once built, these miniaturesauruses are truly a sight to behold &#8211; especially if you have a magnifying glass lying around.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-28837  aligncenter" title="tinysaur_stegosaurus" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/tinysaur_stegosaurus.jpg" alt="tinysaur stegosaurus" width="600" height="314" /></p>
<p>The T-Rex, triceraptops, stegosaurus and woolly mammoth kits are all available over at Kelly&#8217;s <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/kfarrell">Etsy shop</a>, the <a href="http://makersmarket.com/sellers/110-kellbot">Maker&#8217;s Market</a>, or <a href="http://www.everythingtiny.com/tinysaur.html">Everything Tiny</a> and cost just $7 (USD) unassembled, and $16 with a pair of tweezers and glue in a handy gift tin.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-28834  aligncenter" title="tinysaur_trex_under_glass" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/tinysaur_trex_under_glass.jpg" alt="tinysaur trex under glass" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t have the patience to build these miniature marvels for yourself, you can also buy a pre-assembled dino under glass for about $60 bucks &#8211; but where&#8217;s the fun in that?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A new species of dinosaur has been discovered at <a href="http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=329934.msg3810284#msg3810284">Craftster</a>, and it is adawwwwwrable. I&#8217;ll give it the scientific name <em>Facelessthicipus woolysaurus</em>, but you can call it Dinohorsie.</p>

<p>The 2 ft. long Dinohorsie was made by the <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">crazy</span> imaginative craftster sparrowarms : &#8220;My daughter has always called Dinosaurs, Dinohorsies which got me thinking: what would a Dinohorsie look like?&#8221; A long-necked, faceless wet dog, apparently. But it&#8217;s still cute. What&#8217;s not cute at all is Herb, Dinohorsie&#8217;s buddy, which sparrowarms made from the leftover fake fur. Herb freaks me out so much (and his picture is low-res) that I&#8217;d rather you go to <a href="http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=329934.msg3810284#msg3810284">Craftster</a> if you want to have a look at his face, which is also his body.</p>

<p>He also has a prehistoric storage capacity, a measly 2 GB. But I bet that&#8217;s more than enough to carry all your stuff. And since the actual flash disk is wrapped inside his head, you don&#8217;t have to take his entire body with you.</p>
<p>So go and tell mom and dad to buy you one from robotbaby at <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=30005211">Etsy</a> for only $28 (USD). Tell them &#8220;This is a great way for me to be introduced to the world of computers and learn the perks of flash storage as well as the value of regularly backing up my data!&#8221; Eh what the hell. You probably know how to download from Usenet already.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.snesclassics.com/snes-archive/bronkie.php">Bronkie</a> might&#8211;<em>might</em>&#8211;have been marginally cooler.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/rockabillyjon/sets/72157621890786099/">Flickr set</a> includes some in-process shots and the whole project looks pretty simple. Cut an iPhone-shaped slot in your favorite object and make a hole for cabling. Voila! Now your favorite random object can be used to charge one of your favorite useful objects. It&#8217;s a win all around.</p>

<p>Bone Collection&#8217;s <a href="http://www.fruitshop.com.tw/EN/Products/dinosaur.html">Dinosaur Drivers</a> are USB flash memory devices that look like cartoony versions of their prehistoric brethren. And if pocket-size dinosaurs aren&#8217;t enough, these ones are of the fire-breathing variety.</p>

<p>These aren&#8217;t just any old green dinosaurs, they&#8217;re available in a variety of colors including an oh-so-wrong hot pink. Each one is made from a flexible silicone shell that flips open to reveal the USB connector.</p>

<p>So crush, crumble and chomp your way over to <a href="http://www.x-tremegeek.com/Templates/boneCollection.asp?categoryID=754">X-Treme Geek</a> and grab one of these guys for $21.95 (USD) for a 4GB dino.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This new robotics platform out of Korea lets you build a variety of unique robots from a single set of modular parts. RoboBuilder offers a complete kit of interchangeable modules which come together to form computer programmable mini-bots.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2258" title="robobuilder_kit" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/robobuilder_kit.jpg" alt="robobuilder kit" width="520" height="284" /></p>
<p>Out of the box, there are three &#8220;standard&#8221; robot designs, HUNO, DINO and DOGY. HUNO is a humanoid robot, capable of walking on two legs, and can perform moves like walking, jogging, headstands and kicking.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2259" title="robobuilder_huno" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/robobuilder_huno.jpg" alt="robobuilder huno" width="520" height="212" /></p>
<p>DINO is sort of like a dinosaur, standing on two legs with a third appendage that resembles a tail. The prehistoric robot can move much faster than HUNO, and can thrash its tail about.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2260" title="robobuilder_dino" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/robobuilder_dino.jpg" alt="robobuilder dino" width="520" height="161" /></p>
<p>Last but not least is DOGY, a four-legged mode which simulates the movements of a robotic canine. Thanks to its extra legs, it&#8217;s the fastest of the bot modes, and can be programmed to run, sit, lie down or other dog-like movements.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2261" title="robobuilder_dogy" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/robobuilder_dogy.jpg" alt="robobuilder dogy" width="520" height="156" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Additional modules let you build even more complex robots. If you have enough you can create some really cool custom robots, like this awesome spiderbot&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2262" title="robobuilder_spider" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/robobuilder_spider.jpg" alt="robobuilder spider" width="520" height="378" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The kits come in either a simple black design, or a clear body loaded with programmable LEDs inside under the see through shell, letting you easily create your own disco &#8216;bots. Best of all RoboBuilder is encouraging its users to share designs and programming on their online community.</p>

<p>U.S. pricing for RoboBuilder kits isn&#8217;t known but Korea&#8217;s <a href="http://www.funshop.co.kr/vs/detail.aspx?categoryno=220&amp;itemno=5694">Funshop</a> has started offering kits from KRW 450,000 to 660,000 (appx. $433 to $634 USD).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Remember the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robosaurus">Robosaurus</a>? Let me refresh your memory. The gigantic robotic dinosaur looks like a metal, fire-breathing <em>Tyrannosaurus Rex</em>, and might be just about as fierce. Capable of picking up cars, then crushing them with its razor-sharp jaws, I certainly wouldn&#8217;t want to run into one in a back alley.</p>
<p align="center"> <img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/robosaurus_eats_car.jpg" alt="robosaurus eats car"  title="robosaurus eats car photo" /></p>
<p>So it&#8217;s with much glee that I report that the Robosaurus is up for auction. That&#8217;s right, you can own the giant beast and put it on your front lawn to chomp on unpleasant neighbors (or at least melt their cars). That&#8217;s assuming you can get it past your nosy neighborhood association &#8212; though they&#8217;d be the first ones I&#8217;d feed to the giant metal automaton.</p>

<p>Created by inventor Doug Malewicki all the way back in 1989, the 40-foot tall robot can shoot 20-foot flames from its nostrils, and can crush metal with up to 20,000 pounds of force. If you&#8217;re interested in throwing your hat into the ring for this bad boy, you can find more details at <a href="http://www.barrett-jackson.com/media/pressreleases/101207_robo.asp">Barrett Jackson Auctions</a>.</p>

<p>Instead of using some sort of propeller or engine, this guy just uses good old fashioned wing power. The $69 <a href="http://www.firebox.com/product/1779">R/C Flying Pterosaur</a> can fly indoors or out, and has a foam-cushioned body to prevent damage from crashes. Its unique design provides control not only over ascent and descent, but also the ability to steer in flight.</p>
<p>The prehistoric flying creature has a rechargeable battery that should provide about 10 minutes of flight on a 30 minute charge, and the remote works from up to 100 feet away.</p>

This is the first time I&#8217;ve seen any footage of them in action, so I thought I&#8217;d share it with you:</p>
